WELCOME TO SHARED HEARTH
The Open Hearth is proud to present a free weekend of open online gaming a few times a year. All events are completely free. Anyone can play—you don’t have to be a current community member.
Sign ups will open September 16 at Noon US Eastern. <t:1758038400:f>
All events will follow the Community Code of Conduct and all GMs will be expected to explain and use safety tools of some kind (Lines & Veils, X-Card, etc). We expect players and GMs to respect those rules and systems to help ensure our event is fun and comfortable for all participants. We will also have channels on our Discord server to contact in the event of issues with play during the event.
Sessions run Thursday October 2, 2025 through Sunday October 5, 2025
LOOKING FOR GAME FACILITATORS
If you're set up as a game creator in our community, we'd love to have you run sessions for Shared Hearth: one-shots, two-shots, seminars, long-cons, workshops, whatever. Just create your game as normal, but choose "Shared Hearth 2025" from the event dropdown. If you're not set up as a creator, but have played with us a couple of times, you can ask on the Discord and we'll see about getting you set up.
TIME SLOTS
To help keep things organized, we have several hard break times. We ask that any games you run don't overlap with these times. Basically there's a four hour block and then a one hour break block. Those break times are:
0800-0900 US Eastern <t:1759406400:t> to <t:1759410000:t>
1300-1400 US Eastern <t:1759424400:t> to <t:1759428000:t>
1800-1900 US Eastern <t:1759442400:t> to <t:1759446000:t>
2300-0000 US Eastern <t:1759460400:t> to <t:1759464000:t>
